Can you use a CBIR for a fATPL?
I am looking at doing a CBIR followed by a CPL in order to gain a fATPL as I had a IR(R) and have amassed some time P1 in IFR. As far as I was a aware there is not such rating as a CBIR as CBIR is just a route and results in an IR on your licence just as if you had completed the full IR course with an ATO.
However, I read on the website below 'For the ATPL, the “classic” IR has to be obtained.'
Is this correct, I am fixed to doing the full 45-hour MEIR?
Does the CBIR appear differently on a licence than an IR?
